A Day in the Life of a Locksmith in the Scottish Borders

Some jobs take just a few tools… and sometimes a little more time than expected! 🛠️

My last job of the day in St Boswells (TD6) was a gate lock replacement. What I thought would be a quick 10-minute job ended up taking almost an hour. That’s the beauty of locksmithing – no two jobs are ever the same, and it always keeps me on my toes!

Earlier in the day, I was busy across the Borders:

🔧 Walkerburn – window handle replacement
🔧 Melrose – measuring up for new locks at a commercial property
🔧 St Boswells – quick emergency lockout call

It was a full day of helping local customers secure their homes and businesses, and that’s what I love most about this job.
